Red (almost round mark) on thigh/leg!

Hi, I was wondering if there is any way of being allowed to upload an image, or have anyone I can send this image to to be more reasured by someone who knows what Skin Cancer looks like. 

I basically have an (almost round) red mark on my thigh, I only just noticed this today as I was shaving my lower legs in the bath. I don't know how long it's been there as I have only just noticed because I was shaving, if I hadn't of been shaving I would never have noticed it. 
It's not itchy, and it's not painful either. Hence why I haven't noticed it either, and it's sort of out of a place I cannot really see until I really stretch to see. 

It's got small little red dots inside the big red mark, and it's not entirely scaley but it's sort of a really dry spot and slightly scaley. It's very weird. I am very worried about it, and I do wanna see my Doctor about it, but I want someone to see an image so I can be reasured better that it's not Skin Cancer, which will help me to calm down. 

  • Hello and thanks for posting, 

    I am sorry to learn that this skin mark is causing you so much worry.

    Unfortunately, we can't ever diagnose (say what is the matter) anyone, so even if we were to see it,  we wouldn't be in a position to be able to tell you that this mark is nothing to worry about.

    To get some peace of mind I think you need to see your GP or practice nurse. I hope you can get it sorted out easily.

    Try and keep an open mind, skin changes can occur for a number of reasons so this might not have anything to do with skin cancer.

    Give us a ring if it might help. Our number is 0808 800 4040 and we are here weekdays from 9-5. 

    Best wishes, 

    Julia
